I wonder why this thread is so sleepy, as I saw constant development on the project. Hope the community and investors will start to be more active in here. Anyway, keep the good work guys!

Yeah, I have been searching for crypto project developments aiming at remittances here at Bitcointalk. And it seems 90% didn't pan out and just disappeared. However, ETHA remittance solutions might be the one to monitor since it is mostly lead by Indian crypto. And you know India is the largest recipient of remittances in the world.

Bitspark launches their open Beta App on google play! Safe to say it's one of the very few token sales which moves quickly and delivers.

Spark's Sendy Global Remittance App Using Crypto Available Now!

Our last product update was the release of Sendy's closed Beta. You gave tons of positive and constructive feedback which we included in our new release. Now we bring you Sendy 2.0 (Beta) available on the Google Play store - open for public download for everyone.

For those of you who don't know, let us give you some background.

Sendy is a financial freedom App for the unbanked using crypto. This journey began in 2014 having conduced the world's first cash in, cash out money transfer with Bitcoin. Sendy's purpose is to enable anyone world wide to send, receive and earn money all from one App. Since our official launch in 2017, it was time Sendy was improved to match what our customers wanted.

Much of the reason crypto is not used by many is because it has blatant usability issues. Crypto products for the unbanked miss that they aren't tech people. They are very much everyday people trying to transfer value as cheap and easily as possible. Not a small feat even for the existing money transfer space - we have all experienced the exorbitant costs of Western Union and others.

Sendy fixes the fungibility issues making crypto transactions real to the everyday user. By removing adoption hurdles and prioritising experience and function - sending, receiving and crypto liquidation has been made easy for everyone.

Check out the full post on Steemit.

For those new to Zephyr  (which there are many  Cool, welcome to all! ) here is a TLDR about what this awesome crypto does.

$ZEPH is a tradable rewards token for Bitspark's remittance network. The Bitspark platform was created in Nov 2014 after the team conducted the world's first cash in, cash out cryptocurrency transfer.

Fast forward, the Bitspark network now connects eight high vol remittance countries including Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Vietnam and more ensuring customers can leverage the low costs of cross boarder remittances via crypto through our products without any tech knowledge necessary.

In October, Bitspark launched its Zephyr ICO which raised 1.3M. The tradable rewards token has a positive feedback loop where Bitspark grows its network by issuing $ZEPH as rewards to Money Transfer Businesses = more transactions and Bitspark using 25% from the profits per txn to buy back from the $ZEPH market.

So what now? Bitspark is in the midsts of integrating $ZEPH / buyback mechanism into products and services in time for the first United Nations Tajikistan pilot. The buyback and integration is not contingent on Tajikistan going through. E.g as soon as the mechanism is ready it will be using any transactions through Bitspark's  existing network

Lots in the pipeline! Stay tuned.

wow interesting. I hope the Tajikistan pilot is successful. so is it necessary for zephyr to be in other exchange?

HI Bitspark team,

looks very promising project. but current volume is very very low since lot of ppl not used to bitshares exchange, you need another exchange if not big one , medium one like mercatox, binanace ..etc very well work, this is the time before it gets to late .

Yeah, when an exchange will accept Zephyr, that will propulse it very far. Circulating supply is very very low. A project like that with immediate concrete application in the real world could be valued at hundreds of millions..  Smiley

Hi there ..

I believe this is a very good project. I already bought good number of coins. Just need a clarification. Assume only 1/3rd of the tokens were sold at the end of the sale. What happens to the remaining tokens that were not sold? Most important, what happens to the project? Do you still be able to execute your plans? Thanks.

I believe BTS being de-listed from bittrex is having a major impact on the project. You guys should quickly tie up with a major exchange which will list Zephyr post the token sale and make an announcement to boost the sale.


Thanks for the question! Any Zephyr not sold during the token sale will return to the reward pool and if the token sale does not reach the cap then the project still moves ahead as planned (and is already underway) but timelines committed to in the roadmap may be affected. Regarding exchanges, at the close of the token sale on 6 November Zephyr will available for investors to withdraw to their Bitshares wallet and trading will begin on the Bitshares DEX. Our focus is on the DEX at the moment and completing development and integration ready for going live, we are in discussions with other centralised exchanges but we believe the benefits of using a DEX are clear to us as a company and Zephyr users too so we have no comments regarding Bittrex.

We have just launched the Bitspark Zephyr tokensale now live to the public at https://zephyr.bitspark.io/ !

After a frenzy of development in the last few weeks we are now live until the closing of the tokensale on 6 November 1800HKT 2017 (this is when deposits will be enabled for ZEPH and you'll be able to withdraw to your Bitshares wallet). During this time we will begin a weekly Steemit series with company and development updates every Friday, we think this is a great way to engage with the Zephyr community and help build awareness for what we are doing and how ultimately we are tracking towards our goal for global cash remittances through Bitshares.

We are continuing to make updates to the tokensale website and have some exciting news coming up soon, stay tuned!!

Bitspark, the world’s first cash in, cash out blockchain remittance platform is evolving with Project Zephyr - a project to incentivise the growth of the remittance businesses in new markets and end dependence on banks for the remittance industry.

->Website<-
->Whitepaper<-

Bitspark Coverage



SCMP Goldman Sachs Forbes Coindesk UNDP RT Citi Cointelegraph KPMG The Australian Techcrunch Brave New Coin Accenture Nikkei and hundreds more….


Problem

Money Transfer Operators (MTOs) are bricks and mortar cash locations to send and receive money on behalf of their customers and are the backbone of the $600billion remittance industry. As banks continue ‘de-risking’ worldwide they are shutting down MTO’s bank accounts at no fault of the MTO who, without a bank account, has little access to world currencies and cannot send money for their customers ultimately being forced to close their business.

Solution

Project Zephyr will enable MTOs and remittance customers to have access to 180+ fiat pegged cryptocurrencies through Bitspark’s existing mobile app Sendy (2017) and web platform (2014) which is switching to Bitshares for settlement.

Participants of Project Zephyr will be rewarded with Zephyr tokens for doing economically beneficial actions for Bitspark’s remittance network such as sending and receiving money, referring others, top ups and liquidating MTO balances. With every successful transaction on Bitspark’s network, 25% of the service fee will over time be used to buy back Zephyr Tokens from the market on the Bitshares DEX creating positive price pressure.

Project Zephyr has already begun


This May, Bitspark with the United Nations Development Program did a mission to Tajikistan, a country with poor banking infrastructure, large internet and mobile penetration and a steep reliance on remittances that makes up on average 30% of its GDP. After extensive research in the region, Bitspark announced that Tajikistan will be the first country to be added to Project Zephyr with Tajikistan as its first pilot country in collaboration with UNDP.

A small amount will also be available for the team on a set 2 year vesting schedule.
  • Accepting BTC, ETH and BTS as payment for Zephyr during the sale period and as Zephyr will be launched on Bitshares we will enable wallets for buyers to deposit their coins to make the purchase rather than a standard Ethereum sale with a contract address.
  • All customer deposit addresses are unique and payments should ONLY be made to the address in your zephyr.bitspark.io account.

  • The Zephyr token sale accounts, balances and logins are functionally separate to our existing accounts at Bitspark.io until such stage as we may merge them after the sale but please note Zephyr will only be available at zephyr.bitspark.io during the sale.
  • Following closing of the sale, Bitspark will be enabling withdrawals where we will advise our customers to withdraw Zephyr to their own Bitshares account.
